			My perspective - everybody is human - umpire didn't SEE the kid miss the base, therefore called it that way. 
 (Imagine the flak that would have arisen should the opposite have happened - runner tags base, but gets called out on appeal - WHOA!)
 
 Once heard it stated that no parent has the right to complain about (umpiring) mistakes until their child commits no mistakes on the field themselves.
